Greetings, Classified Professionals!
UPCOMING FRAMEWORK FOR RECONCILIATION LISTENING SESSIONS
FIRST ONE TOMORROW!
We hope you all noticed the e-mail that was sent to all of us last Thursday. Read the e-mail from Communications that was sent on Thursday, November 5, 2020 at 5:24 PM
It took a while to schedule this session, using feedback from many Classified to set a date and time. We hope it is a good time for as many people as possible to attend if they choose. The Listening Sessions are the opening activities for the work that will be undertaken for the Framework for Reconciliation / President’s Taskforce on Race, Equity and inclusion.
We strongly encourage you to attend this session. Read the information below carefully, and don’t forget to RSVP. Everyone who RSVP’d will receive an invitation with the link.
Here is some more information: “As part of the Framework for Reconciliation, LBCC has engaged the California Conference for Equality and Justice (CCEJ) to facilitate three listening sessions. The faculty listening session occurred on October 9, and we are scheduling a listening session for staff and one for students in the coming weeks. Staff will have the opportunity to discuss in an open and honest forum their individual and shared experience with racism at the interpersonal, cultural, and systemic levels within the College. Listening session dialogues will occur in racial affinity groups, or groups organized around a racial identity shared by all participants, and will be offered in: Bi/Multiracial (Note: this group is for people who are biologically connected to more than one racial group), Black/African American, Latinx, Pacific Islander/Asian/Desi, and White. Objectives include sharing meaningful experiences with racism and racial justice within LBCC community, building connections with others who share a racial identity, and practicing building intentional culture where discussion and reflection of racial identities, racism, and racial justice occur routinely and honestly.”

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CLASSIFIED SENATES AND CLASSIFIED UNIONS? We are so grateful for our excellent relationship with the Classified Union. But we still get a lot of questions about the differences between Classified Senates and Classified Unions. Here is an infographic, designed by our Communications Coordinator Alexis Redmond, that explains it all.
